“Everything comes together for Greta Gerwig in her marvelous solo directorial debut.” -Variety

“Lady Bird Is big-screen perfection.” - A.O. Scott, New York Times

“In Lady Bird, Gerwig cares about her characters enough to treat them with respect when they deserve it and to kindly skewer them when they deserve that. With grace, compassion, humor, and the occasional wincing wink to the somewhat myopic excesses of youth, the filmmaker has crafted a thrilling love letter to girls, and to growing up.” - Sarah Kurchak, Consequence of Sound

In Lady Bird, actress Greta Gerwig (20th Century Women, Frances Ha) reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and heartbreak in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (fully realized by a pimply, pink-dyed hair Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Tony Award winner Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father (playwright Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.
